Just wanted to point this part out again.

Seriously, if you've ever autocrossed before and liked it, you'll LOVE this site. And not only is it a great site, the courses have been designed by Roger Johnson, pretty much 'the man' when it comes to course design.

If you've never autocrossed before, this is the way to get started.

I wish it wasnt 4 hours away. . .

Looks like it'll be a lot of fun, especially with a national course designer making use of the space.

4 hours is totally worth it! I drive further than that for our Myrtle Beach events.

Good timing.

Bring Steve with you. We haven't seen him or Becca at an autocross in like 40 bagillion years. Almost as long as it had been before you came to the last event.
